Make sure you are prepared to properly care for a boa. If so then I suggest getting a salmon boa. You can get them for a great price, and they are really nice looking.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Dwarf Boa? I must say, I've never heard of that before! I'll have to look that up, it sounds awesome!

I am completely ready. Right now I'm just working to save up the money, have a 20 gallon set up for when he's little and I'm not going to buy the snake until I have enough money for a new enclosure, and some money for emergency vet situtations. I'm going to take this one slow. I got a little rushed into my Ball Python (the person was giving it away, they were going into the war) and I made some poor descions while trying to scramble it all together. Luckily he's doing good now. Finally got the humidity boosted up in his cage and I'm hoping wwe won't have another stuck shed.
